Compile with Solaris 10 AMD 64bit Sun CC

Hello,

Recently I had a seemingly related problem, but using GCC on Solaris
10/Opteron. I attempted to post to this list, but the message was never
posted (due to moderation?).

Eventually, I ended up manually re-symlinking tas.s to dummy.s, with the
intent to determine the problem before this machine went into production.

tas.s was previously linked to src/backend/port/tas/solaris_i386.s

GCC's error message was:

gcc -m64 -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wmissing-declarations -c tas.s
tas.s: Assembler messages:
tas.s:12: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `push'

tas.s:26: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `pop'
tas.s:28: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `pop'
gmake: *** [tas.o] Error 1

My configure command and environment was:

Hi

I'm trying to compile PostgreSQL 8.0.3 on a Sun Solaris 10 box, dual
opteron and using the sun studio cc compiler. I get the following error;

To continue the compilation, rerun configure using --disable-

pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org.

any ideas?

It looks to me like we currently cover amd64 only for gcc. Do you want
to roll up your sleeves and fix that, or is it easier just to use gcc?
If the former, look at:

src/include/storage/s_lock.h

There's a chunk of code here that's
#if defined(__sun) && defined(__i386)
This probably needs to also allow whatever Sun's compiler
defines as the CPU symbol for amd64.

src/backend/port/tas/solaris_i386.s

It sounds like this contains code that is not quite
syntactically right for amd64. We manage to share code
between i386 and amd64 for gcc, so maybe that's fixable;
if not, you'll need to create a parallel file with the right
assembler syntax for amd64.

src/template/solaris

There's a "case $host" here that may need modification,
especially if you decide you need a separate .s file.

It's worth your while to fix this, because the performance with
--disable-spinlocks will seriously suck. If you do fix it,
please send in a patch.
